It is a size also encountered in the Koala series, the new Kookaburra series, the Lunar Rabbit, and other silver bullion coins.

Collectors can choose to add to their collection the Lunar Dragon 1kg silver coin as a coin that belongs to other silver bullion coins of this size or they can have a collection that only comprises the complete Lunar Dragon series.
